The Guardian (and the Pentagon apparently) in 2004 were quite sure that we could be deep into Climate-Change-Could-Cause Mad Max territory by now.

A secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs and obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a ‘Siberian’ climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world. [Emphasis mine]

Already, according to Randall and Schwartz, the planet is carrying a higher population than it can sustain. By 2020 ‘catastrophic’ shortages of water and energy supply will become increasingly harder to overcome, plunging the planet into war.

Sounds serious. But wait, there’s more. It seems the catastrophe is already upon us.

By 2010 the US and Europe will experience a third more days with peak temperatures above 90F. Climate becomes an ‘economic nuisance’ as storms, droughts and hot spells create havoc

Global Warming is not the kind of catastrophe you can see in the rear-view mirror. Disaster is happening all around us, we just can see it. The disasters can only be seen, when looking into the future. I think it is a parallax thing.

Deciding to give both sides a fair hearing I decided to read (the original) IPCC report and enough red flags for me to relegate the whole thing to contrivance. While the science was beyond my ken it was the context, the seizing on worst case scenarios as the basis of policy is what struck me as glaring propaganda.

Since then many of the claims in that report have been debunked or walked back, yet NOAA has the gall to gaslight the whole world as it changes historic data to match to increasingly dubious “hockey stick” graph of Michael Mann.

I actually started a Facebook page (circa 2010) called “Global Warming Ate My Homework.” And while living in a very Leftist area my son would tell me stories of the others kids in school mocking the hysteria.

Over the years, arguing with believers, any argument that undermines the credibility of their believe is entirely ignored. Arguing with an econ professor, he raised the issue of oil money funding the opposition to which I responded that there was a lot more money and prestige in advancing the belief … he wasn’t at all interested.

It my belief the whole scare is the most massive case of fear mongering in human history.

Well Paul Ehrlich wrote in “The Population Bomb” that people in major western cities would be resorting to cannibalism by the year 2000. Not long ago he was “rehabilitated” to participate in the current madness.

I was at IPCC meeting for two weeks back in 2001. It was all about politics, not science. I believe the Chair was later involved in Climategate….

I sometimes wonder what would go through the mind of a researcher, who might find evidence that does not comport with climate change orthodoxy.“Wow… what the hell am I gonna do with this?? Nothing… no way. I’m moving on. Someone else can find and report this. I like my job and my friends.”
